In my younger years, I had been sick in bed for seven years. At the time, all I had left were a body that was ill from head to toe, a ballooning debt, loneliness, and helplessness. After meeting God and receiving His healing of all of my diseases, I began doing manual labor from dawn to late at night to pay back the huge debt while my family – all five of us – lived in a one-bedroom on a mountainside. Although the work was exhausting and the reality was seemingly bleak, all of us were filled with joy and gratitude of the salvation we had received. Looking back now, words cannot adequately describe how precious those times had been.
As I have lived through such times, Gods love is all the more precious to me now and I could become the Lords servant healing the body and the heart of the countless.
